"I was three or four when my parents got divorced."

It’s not an easy thing to deal with. Since I was that age I have been going back and forth between houses.

I want to get a tattoo on the inside of my lower arm. But then somebody told me I’ll never be able to get a decent job. Is that really true? Tons of people have tattoos!

Most Sunscreens Aren't Cutting It -- Here's How to Stay Safe in the Sun

A new report from the Environmental Working Group (EWG) shows that most sunscreens on store shelves aren’t as safe or effective as you’d think. Out of over 2,200 products tested, fewer than 500 actually protect your skin the way they should. Some even include sketchy ingredients that could mess with your hormones or increase health risks.

The report calls out outdated rules and sneaky marketing that make it hard to know what’s safe. If you want to protect your skin (and avoid sunburns or worse), stick to lotions or sticks instead of sprays, go for fragrance-free options, and look for the EWG Verified® label. And don’t forget: Reapply often, wear a hat and sunglasses, and try to stay out of direct sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

How often does your family talk about potential financial insecurity?

did you know?

The idea that a base tan is a natural sunscreen that protects you from sunburn and skin cancer is incorrect. According to Dallas, Texas–based dermatologist Dr. Elizabeth Bahar Houshmand, “skin damage starts with your very first tan,” and every subsequent tan only compounds the damage and risk. Instead of hitting the beach or tanning bed early in the season in hopes of protecting yourself later on, follow dermatologists’ advice and use sunscreen lotion and wear hats and clothing that provide ultraviolet protection.
